Anthurium, that’s the name of the flower, a common flower cultivated widely at home, it comes in a variety of colours. However, I’ve never liked it so much, may be because it has no smell… I don’t know. That could be a reason, but more so as it looks dead to me… It is an expensive flower out here, and the horticulturists make a lot of money of it also, still… I’m not too inclined to make a garden out of it… it could be our notion of what a flower should be.. an anthurium does not fit the bill… whatever it is, I loved this picture, the rain drops, the colour…

Vishu or popularly known as the Kerala New Year is celebrated on April 14/15 every year. This is not quite the photo for Vishu, however, it has that light, it has the colour yellow that stands for prosperity… and the diya (lamp) in the coconut shell… One of the many sights one is shown early in the morning on Vishu day. Tomorrow is Vishu, tomorrow is also the Bengali New Year also the Tamil New Year ….
Wish you all a happy new year one again

We had shifted into a new office space, a whole new space, vacant… white… and under construction. There was a lift, yes, and we were on the 8th floor. So we walked in every day in the midst of ladders, and sheets of dust, polishing marble work, painting… very soon there was an initiate for office decoration. Our floor had the theme of movies, my aile was assigned action-animation- what more than decorating my desk with x-men. A fun time, when printers got jammed because of excessive printouts, the printers went mad at the number of commands that came to it for delivers! The place was a heaven of creativity, paper, scissors, glue, paint, and what not… the first prize went to someone who transformed her cubicle space into a football field of the Brazilian players, each player in their position on the field
Fleeting memories

I’m a big fan of coffee, instant Coffee in particular, as it is relatively easy to prepare …. one of those habits I inherited from my parents. It has been Bru for the major part and then Nescafe, we love both, we are not fussy about it as long as it tastes like the right brew – the right amount of sugar, milk, water and the brown powder of course. MJ, that is my mother makes lovely coffee, a coffee that cures all tiredness, all headaches, all mood swings.. people do knock at her door to say, M, one coffee please… and she is there in the kitchen making cups of it making some lovely conversation. And to this day, all her cups of coffee has the same quality — a quality to inherit again that of using measurements, to standardize.
This cup of coffee above …. was one of those instances when I didn’t feel like disturbing what’s in the cup, in spite of it being coffee. I hope the Cafe Coffee Day folks realize there are artists in their kitchen who add wonderful garnish to their dishes and drinks, although they are trained to do them.
For them, the artist in the kitchen, making this eclipse would be a matter of seconds, a matter of routine, however for some customers, this is art in a coffee cup…. one of those art forms we overlook many a time for it is what we consider as value for money. Sad!
3 cheers to that artist of this piece in the cup, I had great difficulty drinking for each sip meant the eclipse was smudged and ending – preserved as a picture and posted for posterity on the blog
Cheerio …
I’ve always been interested in observing people at work. Here when I say work, it could mean anything they are doing with utmost care and concentration, a daily routine of theirs they do with expertise. I love dexterous hands.
One of the first I stayed and stared observed in a public place was at a circulation library I frequented back at home, during school days. There was this man sitting in a corner, covering books with plastic sheets. A young thing then, his desktop was stacked with some neatly cut rectangular sheets in different sizes, a bunch of sellotape rolls, a pair of scissors, a paper knife and the books he was about to cover them with. The covers came out as if they were part of the books from the day they set out of the print shop. As if laminated. Not a wrinkle to show it was a jacket, nor a sello tape sticker in sight to show it was stuck on to hold behind the covers and minimal use of the plastic sheet.
These ladies up here, are artists I found them in a cave… yes, their office is a cave where they make pottery to maintain the coolness in the atmosphere.
